Really?

-Don't complain about unnoriginal story, don't even...
-Graphics are pretty good on higher levels.
-Gameplay is like most common MMO's, but it's very addictive.
-Large number of players, items, quests.
-Deep lore, enviorment looks beautiful.
-Mature players.
-Many possibilities of play, from making food and selling, to killing for loot.
-Better visuals then WoW, by far...

My brother just bought a 4 month subscription to it. I've played the trial numerous times. Honestly, its the best MMO I've ever played and is so far the best game I've ever played. And I've played a lot of different MMO trials including WoW, SWG, etc. Just a heads up, once you play through the trial you'll instantly love it and want more! At least I did.

Anyway, I tried it out, and so far I really like it.
Actually I liked it so much I ordered some kind of special edition on a internet store (Vanilla + MoM + SoM)... but the delivery date is in 3-4 weeks... :sigh:

It all depends on if you registered your account on codemasters.com/cog or not. But still, it doesn't really matter. I have no idea why they chose to split the community since the overseas ping isn't a big problem. We have guys from Australia on our server.
Glad you liked it. What class/race do you play?

Anyone want a full copy of it? CD key and all? I have 4 boxes copies of LOTR + The expansion(s). I got it PAX 09 as a promotional offer in the goodie bags from all the guests. Anyone want one? I don't mind paying shipping as long as it's not that expensive, Plus it helps fellow buddies out.

So yeah, the game arrived today, earlier than expected... not that that's a bad thing.
Created a new account on the given site, installed the game, and now waiting for it to update.
Only SoA and MoM so far, might buy SoM if I like the game enough to keep playing for that long. (which is likely)

Hopefully the server list works properly this time, so I can join either Snowbourn or Eldar.

I agree!
I played WoW for a small period, and i did not quite like it. I felt there was something missing... When I play Lotro(which I do a lot!) I do not feel that way at all. Okay, WoW have a bigger world and a huge community, but really it is not that of a great game!
Lotro on the other hand have 100 times better story, a lot nicer graphics(for you that care about that), better and more mature community! It is quite clear who takes the lead in this "battle".

It's a really fun game, I play it and WoW alongside each other. If you're into RP, play on Landroval. LOTS of RP there, and the community is great, infinitely better than the assholes that play WoW. It's a really nice game, and it's based off of the books, NOT the movies, which I love. Turbine did a really great job, in my opinion.

is a fun game you play it and WoW alongside each other. I suppose that makes sense. I could be. Sure, RP play on Landroval sounds like a good topic. Which ones? is a game and it is based off of the books NOT the movies which you love. I suppose that makes sense. What do you really want to ask me?

Well this is an interesting post. Now give me a little while to decipher what you said and make sense of it. :P
Also, were you high while making said post?

How do you get never-expiring account? Never played this game, but I will if theres a way in never-expiring account. How?

As deamer said, it costs a fair bit of cash. And you are able to do it (as a european) through codemasters.com/cog (that's where you create your account username/password and handle the license and billing of the game) > reactivate subscription > lifetime.
